SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 1, 2011, a NPRM was published in the Federal Register establishing Class E airspace at Wilkes-Barre, PA, to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures for Wilkes-Barre/Wyoming Valley Airport, Wilkes-Barre, PA (76 FR 38585). Subsequent to publication the FAA found that Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface currently exists for Wilkes-Barre, PA, with the primary airport being Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport. To avoid confusion this proposed rule is being withdrawn and another rulemaking will be forthcoming adding Wilkes-Barre/Wyoming Valley Airport to the current city designator, Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, "Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures," paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment
